Stockport post match reflections

[Yak]

Does anyone really know how much they are earning?
This just seems to cause more resentment towards the player/players imo.
He?s either good enough or not irrespective of how much he?s earning.

It's to be hoped that the Executives and Management know how much Yak!

Otherwise we all go off hearsay, rumour and those websites that proclaim to be in the know about who gets paid what. I think the last one I saw had Dawson 'earning' over 10x what Powell gets paid. If that's true it is easy to see why wages are such a devisive element in the game.

The advertiser did an article a couple of weeks ago saying our highest paid player is thought to be on 8k and the rest earn around 4k at most.
The wording suggests even that appears to be an educated guess but the figures aren?t as outrageous as many on here have often claimed.

Why start Raggett before Jules? who's surely the lesser of two evils.

Goalkeeper Josh Vickers 30 year old still at Derby County.
End of his contract 30th June 2026
I thought he did well for the Millers, then he got the finger's Injury,
Then Victor Johansson stepped in.
Vickers number 2 at Derby County,
Said before start of season, some on MM liked him some did not.
He did well for the Millers,
Maybe a end of season chance of signing.

To a centre forward, ideal player to me would be Michael Smith, but under contract at P.N.E. until June 2027.
We need a centre forward who can hold up play, & lay a ball off.
Which Hugill has not done.

Not fair ELK. Hugill is always holding up play with his fouling

Johannson and Vickers both came to Rotherham at the suggestion of Andy Warrington. Not bad for a "cheap option" coach as one on here describes him.
If he's still with the club at the end of the season I would certainly trust him to find our next goalkeeper.

Reading about Josh Vickers, if true it said 4,000 pounds a week wage, with a 1,000 pounds
a week bonus.
So 208,000 pounds a year wages
So 52,000 pounds a year bonus

Total 260,000 pounds a year.

I've heard of at least one York player allegedly on ?5k pw.....mind you, their crowds match or exceed ours at present...

Also the wealth of the family with the majority stake in York City makes TS look like a pauper 🙂

I see that Jack Holmes?s is seen by MH as a natural replacement for Hall in a wing back position. I would be surprised if you can find 20 people that watch us that think Holmes?s is a wingback or any type of defender. His reasoning is because we are short of players, he has to play there. Mmmmm the alternative is to change formation and tactics to match the players we do have, but doesn?t seem an option for MH. I think we will get a few decent results over the next few matches, assuming our training regime doesn?t take a few more out, but this guy is not the manager and I struggle to see how he ever will be.

J Holmes will be a low earner but whatever had 18 months to make it. Hasn't so loan out. No other wide right player at the club so should be looking to do something about it this window.

Never know, Steve Evans may come in for Jack Holmes, seeing that he brought him into NYS.

Speculation over wages is pointless. What PD printed in the tiser was irresponsible journalism in my opinion. He must know the feelings among the fans, can see for himself the apparent lack of some effort, fuelled by MH quoted opinion, so stating money only adds fuel.
Whether it be accurate or not, in print it will be taken as gospel by many.

I would say that what he wrote wasn't far off, Hugill will be top earner, with a scattering of 4 grand players from SE signings.

DON'T forget it's a strong rumour that SE spent some of this years budget as well, so there might be a good scattering of them. Also don't forget he signed them nearly all very early in the summer, so will have paid top bucks for them.....................
